a band that sounds amazing on the album but live play in lower keys so their vocalist can still sing and change the fast shred guitar solos to fit their actual shredding ability

"dude, i started listening to (insert band name here) a few months back. they came to town last night and played a show. i went and was very disappointed by what i heard. they can't play worth shit live."

Dragonforce is a power metal band that somehow managed to gain a huge fan base and a ton of media attention, even though better bands exist. Dragonforce isn't a terrible band, however their fan base has caused them to become vastly overrated, turning the group into one big fatass moon that is now blocking the better bands from coming into the light. Their vocalist also sounds like he needs to go to a different genre, as his voice doesn't fit metal at all. Dragonforces guitarists are quite talented actually, but they aren't quite as good as the fans make them out to be.

When recording in the studio, Dragonforce manages to achieve an epic feeling to their music, however their live performances are probably among the sloppiest of metal bands today.

Dragonforce fan "Hey dood! Did you see Dragonforce live! Oh man, that was the most kickass thing i've ever seen!!!"

Set "Yeah, if by kickass you mean sloppy riffs and a singer who can't sing or keep up with the music."

Dragonforce fan "Shut up! Dragonforce is the heaviest metal known to man!!"

Set "O rly? Is that what you think? Nice job proving you don't listen to very much metal. GTFO."

The Fallout Boy of Metal. Loved mostly by 12 year olds, most fans grow out of liking them when they get in High School. The majority of their fans don't play guitar or are extremely bad at it (in terms of technical skill) and usually don't realize that speed is not some heavenly gift, it can be achieved by anyone.

To complete a project, task, assignment, etc as fast as possible, paying little/no attention to detail, finesse, quality of results, etc. Adapted from DragonForce, a power metal band from England known for their intensely fast songs.

"I really don't care about this class, so I'm just going to dragonforce the final project."

Everyone makes them out to be the gods of metal.
Herman Li can play fast. Okay...that makes him the best guitarist ever, I guess.
Not to mention their vocalist's voice is not suited for the genre in which his band plays, AT ALL.

An over-rated power metal band who's songs all sound exactly the same. Herman Li is not an amizing guitarist. Everything that he plays can be replicated by pretty much 75 percent of trained guitarists. All of his solos are uninteresting and have no soul. A lot of people think that because the song is dificult in guitar hero, they must be the greatest band ever. Also, they can't play their shit live.

Paul Gilbert would beat Dragonforce's guitarist in a guitar battle so easily that it would cause all Dragonforce fans to instantaniously piss themselves in unison.
